I don't know if you have this feeling or not; during the New Year or any festival holidays, I sometimes crave for food that I had in the past, or throughout my childhood. Food that my mum would often make, but I never fully appreciated.

Ever since I made the 'Puff pastry egg tarts' in August last year, it has become the most-read post on my blog. I've since received emails and messages from readers asking me questions concerning different types of flours, oven temperature, folding methods and so on.

Although as a family, we all like eating Chinese steamed cakes very much; whether it be the Brown cane sugar cake, the Turnip cake, Water chestnut cake or the Taro cake. In spite of this, I've never made them at any other time of year except in the weeks just before Chinese New year.
